Chapter 856 You don't go to hell, you're too embarrassed to let others go
Chapter 856 If you don’t go to hell, you have the nerve to let others go
Wang Ping'an changed his words, regardless of whether Li Ke was called Xiao Ke or Wang Wu. His change of words was equivalent to admitting that Li Ke was not guilty. In other words, he agreed to "rehabilitation" for Li Ke!
Li Zhi whispered and said, "Come back to Li Ke? How can that work? That's equivalent to...Uncle, what do you think?"
He asked this question all day long, and he had almost all the important officials in the court, but no one could come up with an idea. On the surface, everyone was thinking, but in fact they were waiting for others to make an idea!
It was only in the evening that Wang Ping'an was the first to make a statement, confirming that he wanted to support Li Ke in rehabilitation and to give His Royal Highness the King of Wu a cleansing position. As long as someone takes the lead, as long as someone is the first to clarify his attitude, the people behind him will be able to speak!
Changsun Wuji also left the court and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Wang Ping'an's words are not unreasonable, but the old minister is afraid that after Li Ke comes back, he will continue to oppose you, the emperor, will that be bad!"
This statement seems to be unintentional, and looking at it from beginning to end is equivalent to nonsense. In fact, his attitude is also clear, that is, to take Li Ke back. He is the person who hates Li Ke the most, and no one in the Tang Dynasty hates Li Ke more than him. However, as the prime minister, he also understands that if he insists on saying that Li Ke is "crime", it is not impossible. People have a slander, and they are justified and justified. If they want to add a crime, why not worry about it!
But the problem is that if Li Ke is really convicted, then if you encounter such a thing in the future, for example, if Li Zhi's sons attack each other, they may use more vicious tricks and ignore their friendship. The Tang Dynasty was not the only generation. Both the monarch and ministers hoped that the Li family's country could be passed down for ten or hundreds of generations. If brothers frame each other and become no bottom line, it would be extremely bad, and the country would have to be in chaos.
Changsun Wuji helped Li Zhi and played Li Ke with him. He was merciless, but he still had a bottom line. That is, they always stood on the commanding heights of morality. No matter how cruel they were in private, they were benevolence, righteousness and morality on the surface, and there was no shortage of benevolence, righteousness and morality!
But if Li Ke is really convicted this time and does not listen to Li Ke's "innocence statement", then they will lose the commanding heights. The affairs of their generation can be settled, but they will leave huge hidden dangers. Once something loses its bottom line, it will become very terrible. Morality must have a bottom line, and even if it is false morality, it must have a bottom line!
Li Zhi heard Changsun Wuji's words, but he couldn't understand immediately. He had a severe headache and his mind was not so clear. He shook his head and said, "Uncle, isn't it like you didn't say it? If you let Li Ke come back, you will say everything."
Changsun Wuji's muscles thrust on his face and thought to himself: "I'm confused, I've said it very clearly, how could I not say it!"
The emperor couldn't understand, but the ministers all understood it. As soon as Changsun Wuji made a statement, everyone agreed that even if the attachment was wrong, the source of the final investigation would be investigated, and Changsun Wuji could not be found on everyone's head.
Chu Suiliang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is better to take the King of Wu back to Chang'an. As for whether he will still have to go against you after he comes back, there is no need to worry. Just counterattack it!"
The ministers nodded one after another, saying, "If you want to do something in the future, the soldiers will stop you from the generals, and the water will cover you from the soil. The key now is to solve the things in front of you. Whether Li Ke is guilty must be determined first!"
Li Zhi slapped the table and shouted: "Of course he is guilty, everyone knows this!"
The ministers frowned together and thought, "Of course we know, but now we can't come up with evidence! We have been discussing here for a day, just to discuss how to convict him, but the problem is that he cannot be convicted, at least he cannot be convicted openly. If you grit your teeth now, you must convict him. In the future, your prince or grandson will fight again, then all kinds of vicious tricks can be used. The Xuanwu Gate Change will appear from generation to generation!"
Even in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin was still from a moral perspective at that time. If Li Jiancheng and the others had not forced Li Shimin to death, Li Shimin would not have responded so fiercely. Maybe he would have to fight in secret for a few more years!
Wang Ping'an did not return to the court class. He said, "Of course, Li Ke is guilty, but he must be punished by Ming Zhengdian. However, Ming Zhengdian's punishment must be tried. He must be arrested back to Chang'an before he can be tried. How should he be tried in Yingzhou?"
As soon as the emperor got angry, he stopped calling King Wu and called him directly. On the surface, he followed the emperor's wishes, but in fact, his name was Li Ke, not Xiao Ke. It means that he should not be convicted of Li Ke for the time being before he brought him back to Chang'an. Li Ke was still "innocence" before he was tried.
Li Zhi was confused and he was worried all day long. In addition, he had not eaten, so he was inevitably angry. Once he had a big temper, his mind was not clear! He said: "According to what you said, letting Li Ke come back is just to judge him. How could he not understand the truth? Will he still be willing to come back?"
As soon as he said this, the hall immediately buzzed, and the ministers all spoke. Of course, no one dared to say it explicitly, but when they talked about it, they all hint that if Li Ke refused to come back for trial, it would be a crime! The king wanted the minister to die, but the minister had to die. The emperor did not say that he would die, but just asked him to return to the capital. If the prince refused, then this would be a crime? It means that he had the intention of being unjust and could still send troops to attack and kill with one knife!
Li Zhi ***'s temple, and his headache was slightly healed, thinking to himself: "I'm confused. If Li Ke refuses to come back, it's like he is a ruthless person. I can fix him. I didn't understand such a simple countermeasure, but it's embarrassing!"
Seeing Li Zhi embarrassed, Wang Ping'an quickly said, "Your Majesty, are you afraid that Li Ke will make excuses to delay and will not return? This is indeed a problem. I didn't think about it just now. Oh, this is really a difficult problem!"
The ministers thought to themselves: "What kind of problem is this? It's easy to solve!" But they all nodded and unanimously stated that this was a difficult problem, a very difficult problem, and no one came up with an idea, so they seemed to be smarter than the emperor.
He quickly went down as soon as he had a step. Li Zhi was not really stupid. He was just a headache and didn't think about it thoroughly. He said, "If you want to follow my opinion, it's better to send an important official to express his condolences to him, saying that he is not guilty and bring him back to Chang'an. In this way, the people of the world will know that I am a generous person and will never make any embarrassing brothers. When Li Ke comes back, we will cure his sins and find his faults from other places. What do you think?"
This means that Li Ke will be held back first, then deceived him back to Chang'an, wait for him to return to Chang'an, fall into the palm of the emperor's hand, and then slowly pick his mistakes. As for people, they will always make mistakes in life in the world. The key is whether others are willing to pick hard!
When the ministers heard this, they praised the emperor, and the problem that the emperor was indeed wise and wise, and no one could solve. The emperor only gave a little advice and it was like seeing the sun, which made everyone feel enlightened!
Wang Ping'an snatched before everyone and praised: "The emperor is wise, I can't wait! The emperor, I think that a great minister should be sent to announce the imperial edict. Not only should I comfort the King of Wu, but I also need to give him a reward, saying that he is noble and unyielding in the enemy country, and cannot be defeated. In this way, the King of Wu has to come back. If he doesn't come back... that's easy to do. Our army will go to war, and it's just going to war directly. If he is grateful to Jun's kindness, it's easy to deal with!"
Changsun Wuji refused to let the limelight be revealed by Wang Ping'an. He also said: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo was destroyed, just a matter of a finger. Li Ke has some understanding of Goguryeo. Why not let him deal with the aftermath of Goguryeo and resolve the disputes between the city lords. If you don't say the far, wouldn't there be Guan Zhihu in the nearest?"
The Guan Zhihu he mentioned was the leader of Shicheng Island who suffered from eye disease and was cured by Wang Ping'an. Guan Zhihu was fooled by Li Ke. The other fool had angered and ran to the Central Plains to be an assassin. Although he had surrendered, he hated Li Ke to the core. If he had met Li Ke... some things would be less easy to say.
The leader of Guan Zhihu is an uncivilized barbarian. He likes to fight and kill the most. If Li Ke accidentally kills Li Ke, it is understandable. If Li Ke beat Guan Zhihu, it will be not so easy to understand. Killing the surrendered leader of the foreign country will have a great impact. Who dares to surrender again in the future? So, this is a crime!
The ministers said in unison: "It makes sense, it makes sense!"
Li Zhi whispered and thought to himself: "Well, this trick is good, it can be said to be foolproof, and it is within a controllable range!" He said: "Okay, then that's what to do. But who will send and who will go to Yingzhou to announce the imperial edict?"
There were a lot of important officials in the court, but they had to go to Yingzhou to announce the imperial edict. Everyone was unwilling to do this hard work. Even if they wanted to do it, they had to find someone who could stand the trouble. Respecting the elderly, and young people had to do more!
The youngest civil and military officials in the court was Wang Ping'an. He was not even twenty years old. He was one of the prime ministers and an absolute important minister! As the saying goes: If you don’t go to hell, do you have the nerve to let others go?
Before everyone could recommend him, Wang Ping'an immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think the people sent to proclaim the edict should be both steady, respectable and reliable. In this way, all the lords in the court can do it, but all the adults are busy. It is a waste to take up their time and energy for people like Li Ke. Therefore, I recommend one."
The ministers thought to themselves: "According to what you say, everyone doesn't have to go, you don't have to go, but who else can you send besides the court officials? Send that Master Xuanzang? He is indeed respectful, but what is he sending him? Accept Li Ke as his apprentice, influence him, and let Li Ke become a monk?"
Wang Ping'an said: "It is better to send the palace chief Shi Zhong minister to go with me," said Wang Ping'an, "It is the most appropriate to send eunuchs to go with me," and so on!"
